A SENATE RESOLUTION
TO AMEND RULE 7B OF THE SENATE, RELATING TO THE INTRODUCTION OF VISITORS AND GUESTS, TO PROVIDE THAT SENATORS MAY INTRODUCE VISITORS, GUESTS, OR FAMILY MEMBERS WITHOUT LEAVE OF THE SENATE DURING THE FIRST FORTY-FIVE MINUTES AFTER THE SENATE CONVENES ON A LEGISLATIVE DAY.
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That Rule 7B of the Senate is amended to read:
A member may introduce a visitor, guest, or family member, without leave of the Senate, during the first forty-five minutes after the Senate convenes on a legislative day. When a member wishes to introduce a visitor, guest or family member, he or she shall first gain recognition from the President and shall limit his or her introduction and associated remarks to not more than two minutes.
If a visitor or guest in the Chamber or in the gallery engages in a demonstration of approval or disapproval or creates a disturbance which affects the decorum of the Senate, the Clerk and Sergeant-at-Arms shall take those measures necessary to enforce order."
